Head (1968)

Comedy · Fantasy · Musical

Running in from seemingly nowhere, Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith and Peter Tork - better known collectively as The Monkees - disrupt a bridge opening ceremony. From where did they come from and why have they come to disrupt the proceedings? They were filming a series of vignettes in several different genres, including a Wild West sequence, a desert war sequence, a Confederate Army Civil War sequence, and a science fiction sequence. They disagree with much of what is happening around them and try to figure out how to escape from the oppression they feel - symbolized by a big black box in which they are seemingly imprisoned - by the forces around them. That oppression is often shown in the form of "The Big Victor Mature".
